00:01It is proposed that you should undertake the education of my children.
00:07You will live at my house by the sea.
00:10The world was beginning to turn, though we did not know it.
00:14There is no lover, I am certain.
00:17I do nothing but kiss. No one objects to that.
00:20To think I have defended you when all this time you are...
00:23You are bad.
00:25I want to do what is right.
00:26This is between you and me.
00:29You knew she had a lover.
00:31If we had been told we would have come...
00:32I will not be judged!
00:34Caroline, don't!
00:35We shall see what my brother has to say.
00:37Why did you speak to his grace?
00:39You must make your choice. The Duke of Leinster. Or me.
00:42There is no choice.
00:44In rank and privilege lie the seeds of vexation and grief.
00:49Everyone thought I should marry the king, and when it didn't take, you just wanted me married!
00:54I didn't!
00:55I could never be perfect like you.
00:57Come back to the family. Come back to us, Sarah.
01:09Is that from Caroline?
01:12Sadly, no.
01:14Do you approve?
01:19As always, you are Queen of Ireland.
01:26We shall be late.
01:27Being Queen of Ireland occasionally allowed me to forget the rift between myself and Caroline.
01:38The lobsters did not arrive.
01:40There is duck.
01:41There are oysters.
01:42There is our excellent beef.
01:43No mutton.
01:44No pork.
01:45Of course there is mutton and pork.
01:47I fredged with Cook for an hour this morning.
01:49You ordered fires in every room.
01:52If I didn't, it is now too late.
01:53Everyone is here.
01:54Even William's dancing improves.
01:55Poor William.
01:56He tries to please.
01:57Lynn.
01:58Did you read my story, father?
01:59I'll take it to London with me, Edward.
02:01If I have time, I'll read it then.
02:02You won't have time.

04:59oh
05:00i've found a fencing master that's willing to come
05:04yes once a week at a reasonable rate
05:08do you wish to see him
05:11i rely on you
05:23It's a fine room.
05:24Yes.
05:26You will, of course, dress simply.
05:28Nothing fine or fancy.
05:31You must not attend gatherings where you will meet young men.
05:34In a few years, perhaps, you may re-enter society.
05:39I will have to learn to enjoy my own company.
05:43I'm not used to being alone.
05:45Alone?
05:47You have your child.
05:53How long will it last, do you suppose, this determination of Sarah's to reform?
06:00Why must she reform?
06:02She only did what everyone else does.
06:04Her offence was to be discovered doing it.
06:06Everyone else does not...
06:07Do not disapprove of my flirtations.
06:10A little gallantry is necessary for a man.
06:13Ah, necessary for a man, but inexcusable in a woman.
06:18Then with whom can a man have an affair?
06:20She knew the world.
06:21I only wish she had taken my advice.
06:25Oh, Mother, you are still smarting because she did not marry the king.
06:29And if she had, would you still be challenging the king's authority as you do?
06:35I support all reforms that check the powers of the crown.
06:39Yes, I heard something of this sort in the house yesterday.
06:41You spread bad ideas, Mr Fox.
06:44I speak for Parliament, which represents the people.
06:47The people?
06:48The people don't know what they want.
06:49So Parliament must guide them in their wishes.
06:52You should remember where your interests lie, Mr Fox.
06:55My son does not look to politics for personal advancement.
07:05Sarah.
07:05You look well.
07:09Not too well, I hope.
07:12But it's not simple enough.
07:14No, no, I did not mean the dress.
07:16I meant your health.
07:18Do you sleep well?
07:21Yes, I sleep well.
07:22And how is baby Louisa?
07:30She begins to walk.
07:33So soon.
07:35She must be very clever.
07:37I think she is.
07:39She knows her red cup from her blue.
07:41I long to see her.
07:49Do you stay here in the house?
07:51We have given her some rooms.
07:53They are comfortable.
07:56Ah, Lord and Lady Marchment are here.
07:59Then I must leave.
08:00But you've only just arrived.
08:01In London, Sarah was being kept from society.
08:08She seemed willing to reform.
08:12Then an old friend returned from America
08:14to remind her of more intemperate times.
08:17Someone to see you.
08:21Lady Susan.
08:22I so hoped that would be you
08:25ever since I heard of your return.
08:27You look well.
08:30I'm sober, I know.
08:31You must tell me more.
08:35There is nothing to tell.
08:36Let me hear about you.
08:38How's Mr. O'Brien?
08:39As handsome as ever.
08:40Thank God.
08:42And who do you meet now you are back?
08:44Everyone who will see me.
08:47We are inconvenient women, my dear.
08:49No one knows how to treat us.
08:50Though they know well how we should behave.
08:55No doubt they are right.
08:58How is little Louisa?
09:01Ooh, she's charming.
09:05Like you.
09:08I can't be repentant for marrying an actor.
09:10But I must repent.
09:12But you have no company here.
09:15What do you do?
09:17I read.
09:20How your mind will improve.
09:31You were very right in imagining
09:33that Lady Lucy would enjoy our haymaking.
09:36I wish you had been with us to see it.
09:39All the children remain busy and happy
09:41and beg me to send you a thousand kisses.
09:44I interrupt.
09:50Louisa.
09:59I did not know you had returned.
10:01I returned yesterday.
10:03Oh.
10:04How is Sarah?
10:06She seems satisfied, I think.
10:08Oh, good.
10:11And...
10:12Our brother?
10:14He's well.
10:15Good.
10:16Good.
10:25Everyone is well.
10:26You look tired.
10:39I'm not tired.
10:41Just lazy.
10:45Oh.
10:45Will I ever do these in a week?
10:47Whatever I do, I never seem to finish.
11:01When I'm here, I so miss the children.
11:08And...
11:09Being by the sea...
11:11Are you fretting of late?
11:20I say, Miss Caroline,
11:22she still will not write.
11:26I sometimes feel that the situation is hopeless.
11:34When Louisa returned from London,
11:36I asked after Sarah
11:37her and my brother,
11:39but I could not inquire after Caroline.
11:44If you've been close,
11:45the closeness never dies.
11:49I comfort myself with that thought.
11:59Oh, they seem so happy.
12:02I wish it could last.
12:04Their childhood happiness
12:06gives you reason for hope.
12:10You're right.
12:14We learn affection in childhood.
12:20Happiness is impossible without that.
12:30England was preparing for war with the colonies.
12:33Sarah found a new focus for her feelings.
12:37Avidly, she followed the progress of the conflict.
12:41My dear Sarah,
12:43the house is full of soldiers.
12:46My brother has permitted them to board.
12:48So many.
12:50So handsome.
12:51Such a pity they fight the colonists.
12:53You favour the American rebels?
12:55Of course.
12:56The army is wrong.
12:58These men do their duty.
13:00Cannot blame them for that.
13:01I've just heard that Bunbury's divorced you.
13:05Yes.
13:05How does it feel to be free?
13:07Thank God I cannot go back to him.
13:12You didn't consider it.
13:15No.
13:17Louisa and my brother thought I should.
13:20Emily and Caroline thought I should not.
13:22How could Louisa?
13:24I don't think I'd forgive her.
13:26Well, she has always forgiven me.
13:27My dear,
13:29you've changed.
13:30Of course.
13:32I'm older.
13:34I do not claim happiness.
13:37I'm surprisingly cheerful most of the time.
13:43Are they yours?
13:51They keep me company.
13:53You're an early riser.
13:54So are you.
13:57She met an officer called George Napier,
13:59who seemed conscientious and upright.
14:02Stolid,
14:03rather than dashing.
14:04I've seen you at the house.
14:08I live there.
14:10Why haven't we met?
14:13I do not mix.
14:14I have it.
14:18You disapprove of soldiers.
14:21No.
14:23I admire them.
14:25It's a hard life.
14:28Not at the moment.
14:29When the drilling and marching is over,
14:32we are free.
14:33We are offered such entertainment,
14:35we grow quite soft.
14:37You will be sorry to fight?
14:39On the contrary,
14:39I welcome action.
14:41It is, after all,
14:42what I am trained for.
14:43Well, my wife will be sorry.
14:47She worries.
14:49She will miss the entertainment,
14:51the balls,
14:52the outings.
14:57I must hurry back.
14:59My daughter will be awake.
15:01Oh, you have a daughter?
15:04Yes.
15:06She's a great comfort.
15:08Sadly for Sarah,
15:09he was married.
15:10But then,
15:11so was I.
15:12And I too was wondering
15:14if marriage should be
15:15a hindrance to desire.
15:17Do you think I favour Eddie?
15:19He loves you so much,
15:20it's hard to avoid it.
15:24Hmm.
15:29I hope the others
15:30will forgive me if I do.
15:32They find no fault
15:34in their mama.
15:34It's so quiet here.
15:57Are you a little tired,
15:59you, Grace?
16:00Would you like me to read to you?
16:08You're a Louise.
16:09Such a sad story.
16:13I don't know why
16:14I like it so much.
16:18How curious
16:18are the caprices of love,
16:20beautiful Julie.
16:22My heart has more
16:23than it hopes for
16:24and still it sighs.
16:25This urgent heart
16:28dears to keep
16:30desiring.
16:41We dine quietly this evening.
16:43Will you join us?
16:45Who will be there?
16:47A few officers.
16:50Their wives.
16:52I need another
16:54for a table of whist.
16:56You've met George Napier?
16:59I do not remember.
17:02He says he's met you.
17:09I should have known
17:09who you were.
17:11The disgraceful lady, sir.
17:12Oh, I didn't mean that.
17:14You're my host's sister.
17:16My brother
17:19has been kind to me.
17:21Well, so he should be.
17:22My story is not edifying.
17:24He's your brother, nevertheless.
17:26Most people make mistakes.
17:28Oh, no.
17:29Oh, no.
17:34Do you believe
17:37a person may lose
17:38their bad character?
17:39I don't judge on history.
17:43I take as I find.
17:46What made you decide
17:50to join the army?
17:51My family have long
17:52served the crown.
17:54I consider myself
17:55exceptionally fortunate.
17:57I'm good at what I do.
17:58Is that enough?
18:00It is.
18:01It is a most lasting satisfaction.
18:06Then I shall not pity you
18:07when I read of battles.
18:09There'll be so much to do
18:10and think.
18:11There'll be no time
18:12for discomfort
18:14or fear.
18:15Of course.
18:17I had not thought.
18:18Afterwards,
18:19we shall count the cost.
18:21You may pity us then.
18:23I hate the loss of life.
18:25It may seem strange
18:26for a soldier,
18:27but so do I.
18:30Your wife tells me
18:31you enjoy billiards,
18:33Captain Napier.
18:33You'll join me in a game?
18:35Indeed, Your Grace.
18:35Do you walk early
18:43every morning?
18:47The end.
18:50And now it's time
18:51for bed.
18:52Aww.
18:54Bed?
18:54No.
18:55No.
18:55Will you come up
19:01and see me asleep,
19:02Mr. Papa?
19:05If you make haste,
19:07maybe I will.
19:18The sweetest hour of the day.
19:20Good for walking.
19:28Are you coming?
19:29Are you coming?
19:41Mr. Ogilvy had become
19:43more than a tutor.
19:44He was a friend
19:45with whom I could share
19:47my continued tenderness
19:48towards my children.
19:50They called him
19:51Mr. Papa.
19:52It was inevitable
19:53that the growing affection
19:55between us
19:56would become
19:56too powerful
19:57to resist.
20:01Mama!
20:03I don't know what to do.
20:05What?
20:06There should be 12 men
20:07working on the East Walk
20:08and only six have turned up.
20:11Well, you must hire more.
20:12They ask for more money.
20:14Should I pay it?
20:14What would father say?
20:16Your father is delayed
20:17in London.
20:19I wanted to ask him
20:20about planting flax.
20:21I can't discuss it now.
20:24There are 17 to dinner.
20:27By comparison with life
20:28in the company
20:29of Mr. Ogilvy
20:29and the children,
20:31my duties in Dublin
20:32seemed onerous.
20:34I longed to escape,
20:37to forget.
20:44I thought love like this
20:59was only for the young.
21:02Happy?
21:02Happy?
21:02France supports the colonists.
21:12It will drag out.
21:16Do you think your regiment
21:18might be moved?
21:19There's no word of it.
21:25It will be quieter
21:27without you.
21:29We will quickly
21:30be forgotten.
21:33People will regret
21:34the entertainment.
21:40I will regret.
21:42Going into action,
21:44Captain Napier.
21:46What will you regret?
21:49I will regret you.
21:50You mustn't.
22:01I've fallen in love
22:02with you.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:14It does no good.
22:20Your grace.
22:42Captain Napier.
22:44You should not be here.
22:46Your brother
22:46has spoken to me.
22:50He has observed
22:53the
22:53feeling
22:56between us
22:57and believes
22:59you are persuadable.
23:04Did he condemn
23:05my conduct?
23:08There is nothing
23:09to condemn.
23:14What did he say?
23:16He insists I leave.
23:18I have transferred
23:19to the
23:2080th Regiment.
23:22It sails
23:22for New York
23:23next month.
23:25May I call
23:26to say goodbye?
23:33It is better not.
23:34for the first time
24:00in her unhappy life,
24:01Sarah experienced
24:02true love.
24:03It was true love.
24:08My own new love,
24:10though furtive,
24:11was joyous.
24:13For I was unaware
24:14that the future
24:15held sorrows.
24:17I learned from Louisa
24:18that Mr. Fox
24:20was dying.
24:22How much this time?
24:242,000.
24:25Speak up.
24:273,000.
24:28In a single night?
24:29You promised
24:32so faithfully
24:33to stop.
24:40Can you pay so much?
24:42It's worth an estate.
24:45Of course,
24:46they cannot pay.
24:49I don't know
24:50how they dare
24:50speak to us.
24:53They break our heart.
24:55I...
24:59I...
25:00I will pay.
25:09Get out.
25:11Get out!
25:15Get out!
25:17Get out!
25:17Get out!

37:43No!
37:44No!
37:45Is there nothing else you can do?
37:46There is no more.
37:47I know I grieved her.
37:48Have I caused this?
37:51I grieved her, too.
37:53I will get up tomorrow and I will sit in a chair.
38:10I will have some comfort.
38:13I will get up tomorrow and I will sit in a chair.
38:19I will have some comfort.
38:22There is comfort in God. Would you like me to pray?
38:27I will not die.
38:33Ah!
38:36Oh!
38:43Caroline did not die content.
38:51She was unreconciled to death, to God.
38:55She met them head on,
38:57only giving up her life when it was snatched from her.
39:01At least, the family was once again united at the end.
39:05How long will you stay?
39:19I wish to return to my children.
39:22Mr Ogilvie takes care of them.
39:26He sounds like an exceptional man.
39:29I only wish I could meet him.
39:32I expect you will.
39:33Well,
39:33I am going to marry him.
39:40Oh, my dear sister.
39:43You can't.
39:45He's a tutor.
39:49You will marry him.
39:51But why?
39:56I love him.
40:00And I'm expecting his child.
40:03Oh, Emily.
40:05The scandal.
40:07What will people say?
40:11People will say that I am a fool.
40:13And worse than that.
40:16An old fool.
40:19They will talk me over and say what they please.
40:23Most will condemn me.
40:26Few will approve.
40:30But it will not matter,
40:31because I shall be in France
40:32with my children
40:34and Mr Ogilvie.
40:36And Mr Ogilvie.
40:44I'm sorry if I surprised you.
40:49You had to know.
40:50I was tired now and wished to travel as far as possible
40:59from the grief,
41:00the evasion,
41:02the disintegration of all we had known.
41:06Soon after Mr Fox and Caroline died,
41:08their eldest son,
41:09Stee,
41:10joined them.
41:11Their home became an empty place.
41:14All the objects she possessed.
41:19Only objects, damn it all.
41:22Not to cry.
41:26The sum of her life.
41:30By no means.
41:32She didn't live for things.
41:34Her life was with him,
41:36not with things.
41:37She couldn't see you.
41:59She couldn't know.
42:00I don't know.
42:00I don't know.
42:02I don't know.
42:03I have news from New York.
42:12Yes?
42:13Everyone rejoices that they've taken Philadelphia
42:15and a fever is raging in the 80th.
42:18Do we know anyone affected?
42:20Captain Napier and his wife.
42:22She died.
42:23He, however, did not.
42:26God rest her soul.
42:34Like all of us, Sarah craved the solace of a calm life.
42:39And at last, she was close to achieving a happy one.
42:49She could not forget George Napier.
42:53She hoped that he would return from America
42:55with feelings as strong as those he had left with.
42:59She only had to overcome
43:05the resistance of our brother, the Duke.
43:12Sarah?
43:14You can't become an army wife.
43:16The man has nothing but his pay.
43:18Hundreds of people live pleasantly on small incomes.
43:21They have not been bred to such comforts as you.
43:24I can do without comfort.
43:25So you say, but you have not considered...
43:27Believe me, brother.
43:29I have had both time and leisure to consider all I need.
43:33You have a comfortable place to live?
43:35My protection, a refuge for your daughter?
43:37What else do you want?
43:39A life.
43:40A life with a rabble following the drum?
43:43Our soldiers hazard their lives for us.
43:46Do you think it is fair to call them rabble?
43:50You speak to her, Louisa.
43:52She'll listen to you.
43:53It was a time for acceptance and forgiveness within the family.
44:04Sarah.
44:06Why do you suppose Captain Napier wants to marry you?
44:09For my character alone,
44:11which precisely suits his.
44:13Why do you wish to marry him?
44:17The life he lives is difficult.
44:20For the one thing I'm certain of?
44:23Yes.
44:24I love him.
44:27An army captain!
44:29It does not make sense.
44:32I'm sorry to disagree.
44:35But I believe it does.
44:38What?
44:38Is there any fault in his character?
44:45Not one that I know.
44:47Their knowledge of one another has been long.
44:50It has lasted through difficulties and distance.
44:57Sarah, if you wish to marry him,
45:00I cannot object.
45:02I depended on you, Louisa.
45:04I thought you were wise.
45:05Perhaps overly wise on occasion, brother.
45:10I'm so glad you approve.
45:12You would marry him anyway.
45:14I would.
45:23Sarah was finally blessed with the tranquility and contentment she deserved.
45:28Her husband was a good man.
45:31In him she found the fortitude and the love to be happy at last.
45:36And in the years to come.
45:37We have new curtains.
45:50New proof?
45:52One would think you were born to be a soldier's wife.
46:00Tell cook we are ready to eat.
46:02George Napier was posted to Ireland,
46:10where he and Sarah started a family.
46:13As the years passed,
46:15their sons grew up strong and healthy.
46:18We all grew much older.
46:26Pray be seated.
46:27We're invited to Castletown, my dear.
46:37Oh.
46:38Emily and Mr Ogilvy are invited too.
46:42It seems Emily has a surprise for us.
46:45I came home from France
46:48with little thought of the great changes
46:51that would soon engulf us.
46:53My favourite son, Edward,
46:55had also returned from America.
46:58He has been living with Indians.
47:01Indians?
47:02He fished with them,
47:04hunted with them.
47:04With savages?
47:05He says they have none of our ridiculous wants.
47:09His view is that they have all the happiness of life.
47:12A view that you agree with,
47:13I suppose, Mr Ogilvy is.
47:15Why, I've always said Edward would be happiest
47:17if he were a savage himself.
47:21Edward!
47:22Aunt Sarah.
47:26Captain Napier?
47:28Lord Edward?
47:29He has left the army, Captain Napier.
47:32Really?
47:32Why?
47:33Not for any cowardly reasons,
47:34I'm sure of that.
47:35You're right, Mr Connolly.
47:37It was my conscience that made me leave.
47:39His heart would always rule his head.
47:42The Americans have a right to their independence.
47:44In all conscience,
47:45I could no longer fight against them.
47:47But you liked the life of a soldier?
47:51I did.
47:53Your mother tells us you lived with Indians.
47:55With the Iroquois, yes.
47:57Was it not dangerous, Edward,
47:59living among savages?
48:01They are the gentlest and noblest of people,
48:05Aunt Louisa.
48:05It was more dangerous being a soldier.
48:08But you have never feared danger, Edward.
48:11If the cause is just, Mr Papa, I welcome it.
48:14Nothing worthwhile is one without a price.
48:16Oh, my goodness.
48:29You own the love.
48:34OK.
